True Fated Marriage novel Chapter 599

Alice could not stand it anymore. She retorted, "I didn't cry, Heinz." Her face had already turned red due to embrrassment.

"Okay, you didn't. It's Jensen who cried. Please go and comfort him." Heinz smiled and looked at Zachary. "Do you have any guest rooms left?"

"The room is ready!" Zachary replied, "I will take them there now."

"Don't bother," Jensen said, "I am taking Alice out to get some stuff. I didn't bring a change of clothes because I came straight from the office."

"Alright," Zachary said. "I will take you there now. You can go and buy some necessities after that."

"I don't want to go," Alice refused. She recalled that Jensen had gotten mad at her when she was in Northern City previously. However, she didn't expect that he would come so soon.

Jensen didn't care. He strode in and grabbed hold of Alice's hand. "Let's go. Stop messing around."

Alice felt uncomfortable to have her hand held by Jensen, especially in front of other people.

She withdrew her hand from his grasp quickly.

Everyone was watching them.

Alice's face was flushed red from embarrassment as she strode out of the room without looking at anyone else.

Jensen gave them a sheepish smile and followed her out.

Zachary brought Jensen and Alice to a guest room in a suite next door. He passed the keys to them and said, "You should find everything you would need here except a change of clothes."

"Thank you," Jensen replied. "We will be back later."

"Alright."

They quickly drove to a bustling shopping mall located in the city center.

Alice sat in the car in silence.

Jensen did not know what to say either. There was a long awkward silence between the two of them.

Jensen could be pretty thick- skinned. However, it hurt his pride a little to always do this.

"Are you still angry?" Jensen finally asked.

Alice snorted and answered, "Should I not be angry?"

"It seems that I should be the one who should be mad, but I am not angry anymore, yet you still are." He drove the car to the side of the road and stopped.

"Why did you stop the car? The shopping mall is going to close soon," Alice exclaimed as soon as the car came to a halt.

Jensen looked at Alice calmly and asked, "Tell me, are you still angry?"

Alice looked up and met his gaze. In fact, she was no longer angry from the moment he had arrived there. She just felt a bit embarrassed.

"I'm not angry anymore," she replied, turning her face away before continuing, "Actually, the both of us are just being childish, so there is really nothing to be angry about."

Jensen paused, realizing that he may have overreacted.

He smiled lightly and reached out to caress her face with his hand.

Alice avoided his hands immediately.

A flash of disappointment spread across his eyes.

Alice seems to have noticed it. She smiled uneasily and said, "You know I am just acting on instinct."

"I am aware of that," Jensen replied hoarsely. He watched her silently for a few seconds before starting the car again.

Alice asked, "Why didn't you call me? I have been waiting for your call because I thought that you would've called me."

Jensen glanced at her and answered, "I was also waiting for your call. I thought you would call me, but you didn't."

Alice felt surprised. She pursed her lips and replied, "What? Come to think of it, I'm still angry about it. Why would I even call you then?"

"Yeah, I knew that you wouldn't call me." Since he hadn't received her call, he realized that she was mad at him. He was both worried and apologetic, and he had told himself that he should treat her better. In the end, he still couldn't bring himself to accept her every flaw.
